Crossing replaced with traffic lights

 

The pedestrian crossing in Blackwall Rd outside Woy Woy Public School is be replaced with traffics.

However, the school zone flashing lights will remain.

"The new signals will control traffic, providing a safer environment for all pedestrians particularly school aged and senior citizens," according to Member for Gosford Ms Marie Andrews.

Construction of the mid-block pedestrian signals began on Sunday, April 22, she said.

Ms Andrews said the Iemma Labor Government had provided $260,000 for the work, which will take place on Blackwall Rd, south of Park Ave.

"This work is part of the NSW Government's three-year $17 million Pedestrian Crossing Upgrade Program, on multi-lane government controlled roads," Ms Andrews said.

"Woy Woy residents will be among the first to benefit from this program, which is being rolled out over three years."
